Excess Will Save Us

Synopsis

EXCESS WILL SAVE US is a documentary made as a tragicomedy. I wish this film makes the audience want to open to the strangeness and the melancholia they have in themselves. That they question themselves about their paranoias and judgments. I shot it in Villereau, a village that is very important to me as a part of my family lives there. I always found the place both comic and sad. One day, the inhabitants of the village panicked believing there was a terrorist attack there while nothing had happened. I thought of it as a beautiful metaphor of the place so that was the time for me to make a film about Villereau.
